Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Ketamine added to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia may be effective on prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting by reducing opioid requirement after surgery.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled study of rolapitant in subjects receiving HEC. Rolapitant or placebo will be administered 1-2 hours prior to initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1 with granisetron and dexamethasone. Subjects will record all events of emesis and use of rescue medication for established nausea and/or vomiting, and will indicate the severity of nausea they experienced in each of the previous 24 hours in the Nausea and Vomiting (NV) Subject Diary prior to HEC administration through Day 6 of Cycle 1. Health-related quality of life will be measured by the FLIE Questionnaire on Day 6 of Cycle 1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values. All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in up to five additional cycles.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a single intravenous (IV) dose of palonosetron 0.25 mg plus a single IV dose of dexamethasone 8 mg is effective to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by moderately emetogenic chemotherapy in subjects with cancer.

This trial compares the pharmacokinetics of palonosetron administered subcutaneously and intravenously.

PONV after intrathecal morphine, occurs up to 30-40 percent. The patients having TKR normally are female, obese and non-smoker which are risk factors for PONV. Recently, a multimodal approach, combining several means to minimize PONV, has found wide acceptance as a standard of care. In our hospital, most of the patients are supposed to fast after midnight The oral rehydration therapy reduce patients thirst and increase his satisfaction, but whether or not this method can reduce the incidence of PONV after low dose (0.2 mg) intrathecal morphine is not investigated yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of preoperative oral rehydration therapy on the incidence of PONV.

Brief Summary: A randomized, single administration, double-blind, parallel- group Phase 2 dose finding study to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of TRG in patients with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with the administration of highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Primary Objective: To select a dose for Phase 3 by assessing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 3 doses of TRG in patients with CINV associated with the administration of highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

The study drug, Aprepitant, is currently used to control chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting and is also approved for post-operative nausea and vomiting. The investigators' evaluation of it in morbidly obese patients will demonstrate its ability to control nausea and vomiting post-operatively in this subset of patients.

GW679769 may affect liver enzymes that metabolize warfarin. This study is designed to test the extent of the GW679769 affect on Warfarin levels in humans.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether powdered ginger root (encapsulated ginger) is effective for reducing the frequency, duration and severity of both acute and delayed nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MK0517 to prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) associated with Cisplatin chemotherapy.
